Re: Any human player stategies?

I have found that the most effective way to throw the tubes (by careful observation of the better human players from the stands) is to throw the tube overhead and perpendicular to the ground. Doing this, our human player can throw them into our safe zone.

Yeah, throwing the tubes tomahawk style seems to be the best idea for range and accuracy. otherwise the tubes go all over the place and I've seen some bad penalties because the human players were just throwing then helter-skelter.

Re: Any human player stategies?

There was one human player at the Alamo Regional that hit the scoring table with over half of his throws. This method is suboptimal.
